The "Port James" Name

The name of our condo, "Port James," is a play on Jim's given name and a historical reference from the Ludington area. The port of Ludington is named for James Ludington, a 19th centry industrialist. Today the Jamesport Center is a late Victorian six storefront complex on James Street dating back to 1890. Jamesport Brewing Company, located in the Jamesport Center, is a popular local brew pub. "Port James" reflects the fulfillment of Jim's long-time dream of owning a vacation home in Ludington, dating back to his boyhood years of the 60's when he vactioned here with his family.

Your Hosts

After vacationing in Ludington as a young boy and teenager with his family through the ‘60s and ‘70s, Jim always dreamed of owning a place in Ludington. Purchasing this condo has been a dream-come-true for both of us. When we first saw the redevelopment of the Ludington harbor area and the plans for One Ludington Place in October 2005 we knew that this was the place for us.

We closed on the condominium purchase in mid-July 2006 and have been fine-tuning the furnishings and decorations ever since. We try to drive up from Kalamazoo for a weekend as often as we can when the condo isn't rented. We’ve tried our best to provide a comfortable, convenient, and attractive vacation home which we hope our guests enjoy it as much as we do.
